RS Top 20 Best in Show

OK pal, let me spell it out for ya. I'm super duper hip. I'm so hip I got a hip replacement because I was to hippy. That hipster handbook, well it's all about me and my hipness. I don't just follow, I follow the lastest and most vapid of youth trends that you'll totaly recognize me at you kid's softball game with my vespa that I welded to a Harly and coverd in sunglasses as totem to my everexpanding power of hipness. So, my point is that uh.. I realy have nothing to say. Hi.

So are you implying that being HIP is a good thing to be?

well duh….you are only hip if you can be hip without looking like you're trying to be hip.

Come on Rhett, didn't you go to high school?

I went to a redneck high school. Anybody who even hinted at being "hip" was automatically a fag.

No Robert Randolph and the Family Band?

No Steve Earle?

No Old 97's?

This list blows.

I'd rather see some dude playing a washboard with Hippie Sticks than Phish. Oh wait, same thing, my bad.

So you're saying you were hip in high school….

I was not hip, a redneck or a fag in high school. I was a "brain" (hey when you go to a redneck school there's not that much competition), a wannabe athlete, and a shy, social nobody.
Not much has changed, except I'm now somewhere where there are actually a lot of "brains", leaving me to be a non-brain. And I'm happy about being a social nobody instead of being upset by the fact.

And you? How was the Grand Canyon anyway?

Exceeded my expectations. Great weather – low 80's and zero humidity on the South Rim. Much hotter at the bottom of course. Took a nice 20 mile day hike from the rim to the river and back – park regulations be damned. We started down the South Kaibab at 6:30 am and made it to the river about 9:15, where it was already 100 degrees. Walked along the river for awhile and then we ascended the Bright Angel at about 10-10:30, making it back to the top a little after 3:00.

I'd definitely go again, perhaps in the fall.

And I've got the photo to prove it!
